Greetings:
Consider the following snippet of M-Tex code. I am trying to get the ties
right.
I need to have another tie (down tie) joining the chordal e from the second
to third measure in the right hand.
I was able to get a (second) tie on the 'e' from the first measure to the
second, (it is the (d-5 )-5 pair overlaying the top part, but offset down to
the lower note) but several experiments trying to get the second tie have
failed. The main problem is that I can't seem to start another nested tie
after closing the outer tie }, nor can I make it work in the inner context,
before the }1 completes. However, this has got to be a standard necessity
(tied chords), so I am sure that I am just overlooking something.
When I try starting another outer slur (e.g. }1{... I get errors, and the
only thing that has worked so far is what I show below }1(... <- starting
this kind of slur for the second upper tie.
By the way, this is just a snippet, and in the original context (with
additional choral voices), it is important (due to PMX limitations) that the
PIANO right hand NOT be more than one voice (pity!), so I have resorted to
some of these chordal methods to get the additional notes in the piano right
hand.
Also, I really need to stay in the MTex context for the solution... that is,
it won't work conveniently for me to go fix the PMX or the MusixTex for this
one.
Any suggestions are welcomed!
Thanks,
Joel Hunsberger
